JAL will decrease fuel surcharges applicable to tickets issued in December 2024 and January 2025 (and potentially beyond) from their current levels. The airline filed the following one-way surcharges with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism for tickets departing from Japan:
- South Korea, Russian Far East: 2,500 yen (currently 4,000 yen)
- East Asia (excluding Mongolia and South Korea): 6,200 yen (9,200 yen)
- Guam, Palao, Philippines, Vietnam, Mongolia, Irkutsk: 8,000 yen (12,000 yen)
- Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Novosibirsk: 13,000 yen (18,500 yen)
- Hawaii, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka: 16,000 yen (22,500 yen)
- North America, Europe, Middle East, Oceania: 25,000 yen (35,000 yen)
The airline revises its international ticket fuel surcharges every two months based on a schedule tied to Singapore’s kerosene price. The upcoming fuel surcharge rates correspond to “Zone G,” i.e. the price being 12,000 and 12,999 yen, based on average price of US$88.69 per barrel (12,849 yen based on a 144.88 yen per $US exchange rate).
Fuel surcharges applicable for tickets issued in January and February 2025 will be calculated between mid- and late-December 2024 based on the October and November 2024 average kerosene price.
